Vegetation Sampling

Vegetation sampling is the identification and quantification of plant species
and communities. Vegetation sampling is a tool used in environmental assessments
and can inform a myriad of assessment goals including biomass availability,
water quality concerns, management benchmarks, and determining the introduction
and establishment of invasive species. Sampling can be conducted via destructive
or non-destructive methods. Learn more about vegetation sampling from the links and documents listed below.

Macroinvertebrate Data

Macroinvertebrates are animals that can serve as indicators of water quality.
Aquatic macroinvertebrates include animals that live in wet environments such
as lakes, marshes, ponds, rivers, streams, and wetlands—they can even be
found in buckets of standing water or in puddles. Macroinvertebrates are valuable
biological indicators of the health of a water resource.
